Theres talk about Kings series scattered throughout different threads, so I figured I just start this one. Apparently he's not done with the series...

Stephen has given me permission to pass along that he has an idea for a new Dark Tower book, the working title of which will be THE WIND THROUGH THE KEYHOLE. He has not yet started this book and anticipates that it will be a minimum of eight months before he is able to begin writing it.

Apparently this will take place between Wizard and Glass and Wolves of the Calla.

Not sure how I feel about this. Love the series as a whole, but was really let down by the meta-fiction aspects of the last 2.5 books. I don't know about adding another book in the middle of the series, and you certainly couldn't add a book to the end. Wouldn't be opposed to a prequel.

Wizard and Glass practically is a prequel. If you want more to the story pre Gunslinger, check out the graphic novels. They are actually pretty great.

We are thinking of getting another dog next year or the year after. We have a whippit (sp) now and while it's a cute dog, it's a bit small for us. We have a big house and would like a big dog. I would love to name the next dog Oy but I read that it is best to name a dog a 2 syllable word with an "ee" sound at the end. I dunno, should just get a mutt and name him Oy!

I am an idiot...sorry. How could I not forget that horrific scene with Mordred and Flagg? That being said...I generally am not the BIGGEST fan of "flashback" books. Wizard and Glass was solid, but I liked the "what's happening now" parts much better than the flashbacks to the good ol days.

The best thing about Stephen King is how all of his books are intertwined. From characters to places, you can see references to other books constantly. And a LOT of these references center around the Dark Tower series.

The big issue with this is jake is supposed to be 12 yrs old through the entire series. Whichever child actor they got to play him would get older as the series went on, and wouldn't make a lot of sense for the viewer.
